OK, to be clear, his conviction was affirmed. Only his sentence was thrown out and remanded for a new penalty phase hearing.

The courts are in the process of abolishing the death penalty. Inch by inch, ruling by ruling, it is slowly going away.

Not endorsing it but clearly that’s what’s been happening.

I know. I am just saying I 110% believed he was guilty. But now hearing a lot more facts I didn't know, I am not so sure. But I heard enough to think he should get a new trial. Just overturning the death sentences was stupid, and it probably hurts his chance to get a new trial.

A lot of the things the media said about this case were not true.

Anyway, he's still a weirdo.

Trivia note: On the exact same day Peterson got the death penalty, two other, in separate trials in Californian got the death penalty. I wonder what their status is.

It took me a while but after much reading I understand what you state above to be true.

Sort of

So they asked some jury members if they could give Peterson the death penalty, if they even believed in the death penalty. A couple said they didn't believe in the death penalty but could assign it if need be.

Evidently those that who stated they didn't believe in the death penalty were not allowed to vote in the penalty phase?

Seems like a bunch of nothingness to me but the fine man Scott Peterson ain't getting out of jail but he might get to live until he dies naturally.

Lord I remember this case so well. What a horrid man he is.
